I have not, but it is a relatively short walk from my place, and I expect the return is more pleasant than arriving at the Buquebus terminal, looking for a taxi.
Colonia Express is a low-cost version of Buquebus.
They have two vessels right now - one with no car deck and this is a bit old, to be honest. The one with the car deck is absolutely fine! The other is OK but is looking its age.
We used ColoniaExpress quite a lot when we lived in CABA, but now we are in Escobar and my remise driver prefers Buquebus.
I hear on the grapevine, that the owners of Colonia Express have purchased a winery in Uruguay close to Colonia and shortly they will be starting tours within a few months ---this sounds interesting !
